Although the short stretch of fishing on the left bank above Pont y Cambwll* is tree lined, there is reasonably open access to some quite nice pools from this bank where a fly can be cast and when you reach the end of this short stretch, it is possible to wade across the river in thigh waders when water level is low to continue fishing along the right bank.  The fishing along the right bank above Pont y Cambwll is also initially tree lined and can be difficult to fish with a fly but it is still possible to access some of the pools and runs using this method.  Access to pools and runs improves though as you walk further up the beat.

About half way up the beat there are steps cut into the side of a steep hill which it is necessary to climb to reach the fishing higher up which although still being tree lined, provides easier access to the river and to some excellent holding pools.  If you prefer to fish the top section rather than the more challenging lower section, it will be easier to access it via the top of the beat.

Although this beat is regarded as a predominantly a salmon and seat trout beat, it is also home to a good stock of wild brown trout with some sizable fish amongst them providing good sport, especially in March, April and May and daytime and evenings from then onwards when water conditions are favourable.

Fishing with fly, spinner or worm is allowed on this beat and all three methods can be very productive under the right circumstances.
